Kmail is running fine. There are some problems, but there also were with 
3.5, it crashed quite often, sometimes several times a day. With version 4, 
I had a single crash only.

My bug list for kontact/kmail:
- I can have multiple mail folders opened at once, which is nice, but new 
mails do not appear then. They show up in the folder tree, but so display 
them, I have to change into another folder and than back.
- While fetching new mail, I cannot open a new mail folder.
- New folders (created on the IMAP mail server) are not shown automatically.
- I can search for messages, but cannot open the ones I found.
- Saved attachments were empty, but I cannot reproduce that now, it's 
probably fixed.
- Sometimes when logging in, kontact complains it is already running and 
asks whether it should really be started. If I say yes, it crashes, if I say 
no, it does not start. No problem when starting manually the nest time.

Konqueror is great. New features:
- It allows opening of recently closed objects.
- When it dies, at next start a dialog asks whether the last session should 
be restored. The restored session also has all the history, so I can use the 
back button.

Konqueror bugs:
- I always have garbage in the status line, showing parts of other opened 
tabs.
- Sometimes, a tab has scrolling problems. That is, I scroll down a little, 
but only the very top ob the page is updated. If I scroll fast, more is 
updated, if I scroll a whole page down, the display is okay. Workaround is 
to open the same page in a new tab.
- When saving images by drag'nDrop into a dolphin folder I am always being 
asked whether to copy, move or to crate a shortcut, even if I press the Ctrl 
key.
- For a few times, the mouse vanished when inside konqueror. Did not happen 
since I use 4.3.
- With KDE < 4.3, the bookmark editor crashes when moving a second entry to 
another location.
- Also with KDE < 4.3, mouse gestures in konqueror did not work at all, but 
this is fixed.
- Oh, and also the fish:// protocol is working again!

So, these are minor problems only, both kmail and konqueror run better than 
in KDE 3.5, at least for me. But I do not use konqueror as file manager any 
more, I am trying out dolphin.
